Going viral: Bigfoot sighting?

Maybe Bigfoot has decided that we are just too darn liberal in the Northwest and likes the conservative climate of Utah better.

Salt Lake City does have an NBA franchise, so a Sonics mascot without a team might have employment possibilities there.

Making the rounds is a video taken by campers in Provo Canyon, Utah. Through the brush you see what looks like a bear, but then seems it might be something else.

Or as the person who took the video said: “The monster stood up and looked right at us.”

That person, who uses the name Beard Card — he doesn’t want his real name out — on YouTube, talked to Fox 13 TV in Utah:

“We had actually been standing there for awhile. We had thought it was a bear up to that point but when it stood up and looked at us it was just massive animal…

“We don’t know what it was. I mean none of us really believe in Bigfoot but we’ve talked about it over and over again since then. It happened on Monday and all of us are positive that thing wasn’t a bear.”

Perhaps it was one its way to have a latte and scone with D.B. Cooper

The campers ran away. Bear or Bigfoot, who wouldn’t have fled?

Then again, it does give a nice “Blair Witch Project” effect to the whole thing.
